Tom Parkinson wasn't on the wrong continent when he wrote the LRTL (now
LRTA) piece on Pittsburgh.  He lived in Pittsburgh at the time, having
arrived there in August 1962 to work at Westinghouse.  His acknowledgements
included the PRMA, PRC and PAT, Westinghouse and "in particular John Baxter,
Mac McGrew, Harry Bartley and Dave Hamley.  It couldn't have been too bad
with that to draw on, and remember it was never intended to be definitive,
just a series of articles to enlighten the uninitiated.
